ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING, SPATIAL DESIGN, AND COST ESTIMATION FOR THE PROPOSED IMMERSIVE LEARNING CENTER WITHIN SIDM (NOW SIDR), ODISHA

ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING, SPATIAL DESIGN, AND COST ESTIMATION FOR THE PROPOSED IMMERSIVE LEARNING CENTER WITHIN SIDM (NOW SIDR), ODISHA The Institutional Strengthening through Preparedness and Inclusive Response in India (INSPIRE) Program is a collaborative initiative by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and state institutions in Odisha, Gujarat, and Kerala. The program aims to enhance institutional systems for disaster preparedness and climate action at the national and state levels, while contributing to regional cooperation in the Bay of Bengal.Through INSPIRE, ADPC works closely with national and state-level stakeholders to promote risk-informed planning, strengthen local capacities, and support sustainable disaster management practices. The program focuses on advancing institutional leadership and technical capacities within strategic government institutions, enabling them to play a central role in managing disasters and responding to climate shocks. It also fosters the development of innovative, data-driven solutions and promotes cross-learning through structured regional collaboration.As part of the programme, the Odisha State Disaster Management Authority (OSDMA) is exploring the establishment of an Immersive Learning Centre (ILC) within the State Institute of Disaster Resilience (SIDR). The proposed facility is envisioned as a technology-enabled experiential learning environment to strengthen disaster preparedness, applied learning, and simulation-based training. The facility should provide a flexible learning environment that can be expanded over time and serve as a model for future immersive learning facilities in disaster management institutions.ADPC seeks to engage an Architect/Planner to translate this concept into an implementable architectural proposal. The assignment will develop the Functional Design Brief, prepare concept design options, develop the preferred option to schematic design level, and prepare indicative cost estimates and a preliminary Bill of Quantities to support Government decision-making and subsequent detailed design.This assignment includes concept planning, schematic architectural design, preliminary specifications, indicative cost estimates, and preliminary Bills of Quantities for planning and budgeting purposes. It excludes detailed engineering design, structural design, MEP design, tender documentation, and construction supervision.The Consultant will work closely with ADPC and OSDMA throughout the assignment.
